Abstract (en)

The invention relates to an augmented reality image system for composing an augmented reality image by superposing a virtual image over a reality image. The virtual image is constructed in dependence of a position and orientation of a user's head relative to a reality image field of view. The system comprises at least two separate localization systems for determining the relative position and orientation of the user's head.
